NeuroRestorative Heroes is an employee recognition program through which we celebrate employees whose actions make them a hero to those we serve or their colleagues.

At NeuroRestorative, we are proud to have an amazing team of employees working tirelessly to make a difference in the lives of the individuals we serve with brain and spinal cord injuries and other neurological challenges. From clinicians to direct care workers to administrative support staff, we strive to ensure all our employees feel valued, supported and recognized for the important work that they do. That is why we created NeuroRestorative Heroes, an employee recognition program designed to celebrate employees whose actions make them a hero to those we serve or their colleagues.

Each quarter, we recognize one NeuroRestorative Hero from different NeuroRestorative programs. NeuroRestorative Heroes is open to all NeuroRestorative employees, and co-workers, supervisors, participants and other community members are encouraged to submit nominations. This quarter, we are proud to recognize staff members who are not just dedicated employees, but true advocates for the individuals we serve.

“The NeuroRestorative Heroes program is a great way to recognize and thank our valued employees” said Bill Duffy, NeuroRestorative President. “On behalf of everyone at NeuroRestorative, I want to thank all of our passionate and dedicated employees and congratulate this quarter’s NeuroRestorative Heroes.”

Q2 NeuroRestorative Heroes:

Jonty Constant-Dunkley, Life Skills Trainer and Team Lead, NeuroRestorative North Carolina

Jonty is a significant asset to NeuroRestorative North Carolina as a Life Skills Trainer and Team Lead. The individuals she serves describe her as always going the extra mile and being receptive to their requests. It does not go unnoticed that she treats each of them with kindness, respect and patience. Jonty also consistently goes above and beyond for her peers and those she supervises. Her commitment to supporting the individuals and families served by NeuroRestorative is evident in the care and passion she applies to the work she does each day.

“Thank you for the job you do and for your relationship with me. Remember, you are my Hero,” said a participant at NeuroRestorative North Carolina.

“She goes the extra mile to be sure I’m cared for,” said a participant at NeuroRestorative North Carolina.

“Jonty goes above and beyond for everyone. She is extremely caring and it shows through her work,” said Elizabeth Woodrich, LST, NeuroRestorative North Carolina.

Starting her career with NeuroRestorative as a LST, Tina has always led by example and does an exemplary job of working with the staff that she supervises and is invested in ensuring a quality work environment. Tina cares about all participants, their safety and most importantly, their happiness. Tina is also a strong advocate for recognizing staff when they do exceptional work. She never allows her own workload to keep her from helping another team member who may need guidance or assistance. She is an outstanding staff member in every role she has played during her career with NeuroRestorative.

“Over the years, Tina has always been the best role model for every LST and continues to prove her worth to this company,” said Justine Sullivan, LPN, NeuroRestorative Pennsylvania.

As a CPI instructor for the facility, Sara gives incredible presentations on behavior and rehabilitation. It is Sara’s quality of work, dedication and leadership that make her a NeuroRestorative Hero.
